Woman with heavy machinery...

I decided it was time to do something about the copper pinwheels I started a while back.  So off I went to Home Depot (my home away from home) looking for a soldering iron.  Once I explained to the woman in the tools department what I wanted to do, she said I didn't need a soldering iron, I needed a

 torch.

Well.  That was a little daunting.  She explained how to use it and that it was much more versatile than a soldering iron.  I mentioned that after I'd soldered the pinwheels to the copper tubes, I could then make creme brulee and she said indeed, I could.  So I got it.  I've always wanted to make creme brulee...

I finished adding wires to the pinwheels,

then sallied forth into the yard, torch in hand to attach them.  And you know what?  It worked!

 They aren't super-fancy, but I can always add to them later.




They even twirl in the breeze :)

And the really great thing is, THEY'RE OFF MY DINING ROOM TABLE AND IN THE GARDEN!

Now all I need is a good creme brulee recipe...
